Meet Ghost! Ghost is a handsome boy with striking blue eyes who is sure to catch your attention! Since Ghost came to us as a stray, we don't have any information about his previous home or past experiences. Ghost is a friendly, strong dog who can get overly excited quickly. When aroused, he may escalate to jumping up and using his mouth, so he will need an experienced owner who understands canine behavior and can provide consistent structure, clear boundaries, and positive guidance. Helping Ghost learn to manage his excitement and develop better impulse control will be important to his success. Ghost is looking for a committed, knowledgeable adopter who can help him channel his energy, build good habits, and set him up for success. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in adopting or fostering? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
Ghost is a friendly, strong dog who can get overly excited quickly. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
🏙️ In a NYC apartment
Mixes are often excellent city dogs. Building breed restrictions are usually enforced on what a dog looks like, so ask the rescue how the dog is typically identified.
